The Concept of Jacksonian Democracy

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on New York during the Jacksonian era, the book challenges the conventional understanding of Jacksonian Democracy by revealing its disconnection from the state's voting behaviors, party dynamics, and diverse social, ethnic, and religious influences. Lee Benson provides a detailed examination of how New York's unique historical context diverges from the broader narrative of American democracy during this period, offering fresh insights into the complexities of its political landscape.
